I recently installed ubuntu on my desktop. I am fairly new with Linux, so I am not too sure what I did or was doing. I was having a friend help me automatically mount a harddrive on startup before he left. I got far enough that it was automatically mounting, however, when I went to move files into the new HDD and it was telling me I needed permission to save files or move files into the hardrive. Under my access tab it said the user was "root" where as the HDD I install Ubuntu on the user was my user account. I looked around for a while about a fix for it and they were all above my knowledge. I got impatient and went to us a program called PsyDM. I was eventually able to get PsyDM to work and went into it to setup my harddrive. It basically showed all of my Hard drives on a list and when I clicked on them it asked if I wanted to change them or configure them or something. I initially clicked no, but went back in and clicked yes. Once I did there was a tab that I clicked on and it had highlighted all of my harddrives to mount on booting or something of the sort. I restarted to see if it worked. When I did, I got through my BIOS, It went to my GNU GRUB menu, I selected Ubuntu, and then it went to a pixelated purple screen. I restarted and I went through the same process and was able to get in. I was unable to connect to the internet, it woudln't even recognize my USB based wireless reciever was there. I rebooted. This time I was able to get to the ubuntu booting screen and it said "An error occured while mounting /media/ssd1." and to press s to skip recovery or something of the sort. Once I did this my keyboard went dead. I keep restarting and my keyboard and mouse don't work sometimes on ubuntu loading, rarely they do. At one point I hard reset with the button on my case and it completely bi passed the bios and went straight to ubuntu load screen where my USB hardware wasn't recognized. I rebooted and now I can't even get my BIOS to come up. My keyboard is sitting with all it's lights and fans are running on but nothing is coming through to the monitors. No Bios, nothing. During this stream of restarts, I booted into windows successfully and it was fine. I was able to access two of my harddrives and the internet. Now I cannot even get into my BIOS.
Both of my monitors, keyboard, and mouse work. All fans come on with the power button. I cannot verify, but I am fairly certain this isn't a hardware problem. It just seems odd the series of events that led up to complete failure. It was as if with every restart the machine died a little bit until nothing.
The specs for my machine are as followed:
ASROCK 990FX EXTREME3
AMD PH II X6 2.8Ghz AM3
EVGA GTX560
16gb G.skill Sniper DDR3 1333
Antec 750W Eathwatts PSU
The one odd things is my Das Keyboard's lights are always on now despite the machine being off. This didn't use to happen.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?
